John Ponet (c. 1514 – August 1556), sometimes spelled John Poynet,[1] was an English Protestant churchman and controversial writer, the bishop of Winchester and Marian exile. He is now best known as a resistance theorist who made a sustained attack on the divine right of kings.[2]

In fact, research on Ponet has without exception emphasized his ideas on political resistance.
